The arrests were announced on Christmas Eve.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office and deputies were sent to the school and according to a police report, the two were caught smoking marijuana at the school.

The two boys were charged with the felony counts but were released until their court dates come up.

The armed robbery occurred on Nov. 24 and O'Conner and Crespo are believed to have broken into the store on Joel Blvd. South shortly before 1:30 a.m.

According to investigators, the two held the clerks at gunpoint and went about their work stuffing a duffle bag with tobacco-related products, some of which were found inside their homes during the investigation, the report states.
